Ancient crafts are an important part of our historical background.
In our programme we will approach the neglected part of our history. There will be an opportunity to meet creative and unusual people, and to learn to distinguish their products from "tourist souvenir". But also to admire the raw materials and successive work phases of a craftsman, some times more captivating than the final product.
The House of Lemons will invite Apulian masters, skilled craftsmen and artists who, despite their skill are unknown outside their own town.
An exhibition or, rather, several parallel exhibitions will be held with the involvement of these craftsmen who, in turn, will offer intensive courses of practical lessons.
You will be able to try your hand at weaving a wicker basket, sculpting a block of stone, decorating a typical clay whistle, weaving the pattern of a tapparazzo (a cross between a carpet [it: tappeto] and a tapestry [it: arazzo]), pulping papier-machee, and following the constructive phases of a trullo, an unusual and suggestive example of rural architecture.
